WOW! This is one impressive camera. I'm thinking of getting one to replace my 550D, Tamron 17-50 f2.8 and 60mm macro. For what I do I think it will be almost perfect but I do love to do macro. There will be a macro lens add on so that will take care if the macro side. Two things that I think I would get most from is the flip screen and IS. Not having IS on my set up can be a bit of a problem.

Do you think this is a wise thing to do?

I can't answer as far as the macro, but so far I'm loving my g1x over my 7d. It's light, small, and takes incredible images in low light. I have made it my live camera rig when I shoot videos at concerts. The quality is amazing.

Thanks, This really is looking like a low end DSLR replacement. All that quality and not having to lug the weight arround, It's very tempting!

Couple of shots in poor light this afternoon, tested out the exposure bracketing, used 2 shots out of the 3 shots taken. Bit Breezy so there is movement in the foreground. However still plenty of detail in the church structure.

Some more test shots, instead of some well exposed pretty images. I thought I would take the camera to its limits with high iso and very difficult contrast conditions at low shutter speeds, for me they are not acceptable and perhaps we have found the limits of low light with this camera. ISO range from 6400 to 12000, all hand held with low shutter speed.

First Image very bright condition top of Image, very dark condition bottom part of Image.Second Image dark and bright areas all over the place, burnt out at the alter cloth.Third Image colour leakage and fringing at the neon signs, no post processing done to negate it.
